OH GOD IT'S DONE. :iconexcitedplz:
...aaand it's kinda huge oops oh well lawl

This... was annoying to do. So many screenshots, and then finding out I didn't number them right, and arg arg arg. :faint: Tell me if you find any typos. But anyway.



This does not cover advanced techniques; it would probably not teach much to people who know how to use digital art programs and make masterpieces from them. This is meant for someone who has literally no idea what to do with a scanned pencil sketch, and doesn't have the money for a tablet or expensive programs like Photoshop. Everything here is touchpad-drawn (my fingers are still thanking me for that), and done using only free software. Maybe it's not the best way, but it's a good place to start for beginners who have no digital art experience, at least.

And the result definitely looks shiny-- this is how I make all my lineart. Well, I sometimes trace with my tablet, but when I get twitchy, I go back to using a mouse.

This helped a lot but I got lost at the part 2 with the lines... I dont know if you are using a drap pad or what but is there a way to make the lines? Im stuck with a mouse pad and a mouse and I know my drawing will be sloppy if I try v . v... Sorry to bother. I'm using Gimp 2.0

I find this incredibly helpful. I've been experimenting with different ways to do lineart for a long time now and I'm not happy with any of the results. This seems very promising though :D Thank you so much!

Just got Inkscape earlier today after hearing/reading so many ppl say that it's the best freeware for lineart. This tuto simplified this for me (before I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to figure this thing out.). Added to faves, and will recommend this to any friends using GIMP. :D
